This is quite here on the Adventures pipe Man W
8
00:01:01.920 --> 00:01:04.200
four c Y Radio. And I'm here with Jason from
9
00:01:04.200 --> 00:01:07.760
Breaking Benjamin nice and one of the most hardest working
10
00:01:07.920 --> 00:01:11.439
musicians because you're from Breaking ben You're here at after Shock,
11
00:01:11.519 --> 00:01:13.640
but you do so many other different things I do.
12
00:01:13.879 --> 00:01:16.280
Yeah, I stay busy. I try to un fortunate to
13
00:01:16.319 --> 00:01:18.120
stay busy, you know, working with other bands, writing with
14
00:01:18.200 --> 00:01:20.000
other bands, that kind of stuff. So music's been the
15
00:01:20.079 --> 00:01:21.920
only thing I've ever done. Yeah, lucky you have to
16
00:01:21.959 --> 00:01:23.760
do it professionally for twenty years and here we are.
17
00:01:23.959 --> 00:01:26.719
That's pretty cool. What is it like when you change hats, Like,
18
00:01:27.359 --> 00:01:29.079
do you go into different zones?
19
00:01:29.560 --> 00:01:32.239
I don't know, because I don't know that the creative
20
00:01:32.319 --> 00:01:35.519
side that hat does ever comes off. I'm probably the
21
00:01:35.599 --> 00:01:38.400
least band guy out there. Sometimes I feel like maybe
22
00:01:38.439 --> 00:01:40.640
imposter syndrome there a little bit, because I never really
23
00:01:40.680 --> 00:01:42.439
wanted to be in a band or strive to be
24
00:01:42.480 --> 00:01:45.000
in a band. You know, I was always the songwriter guy.
25
00:01:45.239 --> 00:01:47.519
That's what led to being in a band, right, But yeah,
26
00:01:47.799 --> 00:01:50.040
so that was an organic transition there. But yeah, I
27
00:01:50.079 --> 00:01:52.280
think the creative side is always there. Have a recording
28
00:01:52.359 --> 00:01:53.799
rig that we tour with. We'll do some stuff on
29
00:01:53.840 --> 00:01:56.359
the bus. My voice members are always full of ideas,
30
00:01:56.439 --> 00:01:59.000
you know. So but I love touring. I generally do.
31
00:01:59.280 --> 00:02:02.480
See it takes that's a certain person, like even me,
32
00:02:02.760 --> 00:02:05.519
Like you know, I do all the festivals and one
33
00:02:05.799 --> 00:02:08.280
like I brought my daughter to a festival. Halfway through
34
00:02:08.319 --> 00:02:09.960
the first day, she's like, Dad, I don't know how
35
00:02:10.000 --> 00:02:12.360
you do this every weekend Like I'm done.
36
00:02:12.879 --> 00:02:15.039
It's impressive. It's impressive. My kids they grew up

in
37
00:02:15.120 --> 00:02:18.080
this world and they still fall asleep in shows. They
38
00:02:18.120 --> 00:02:20.840
could give crap any of this, right, So again, I'm
39
00:02:20.919 --> 00:02:22.560
just fortunate to be here and this is all I've
40
00:02:22.599 --> 00:02:24.960
known and it's an amazing world, amazing community is you know,
41
00:02:25.199 --> 00:02:27.159
being as plugged in as you are. I think that's
42
00:02:27.199 --> 00:02:28.840
the coolest thing about it, and that's the takeaway. And
43
00:02:29.039 --> 00:02:30.800
been doing it for twenty years, so you I see
44
00:02:30.800 --> 00:02:32.800
people that I knew twenty years ago, right, still doing it,
45
00:02:32.800 --> 00:02:34.919
and there are different roles Danny Whimmer used to be.
46
00:02:35.080 --> 00:02:37.039
I remember showcasing for Danny Winner when he was at
47
00:02:37.039 --> 00:02:38.800
Atlantic Records. Right, So it's wild.
48
00:02:38.840 --> 00:02:39.360
It's really cool.
49
00:02:39.360 --> 00:02:42.120
It's wild to watch everybody grow together and like to
50
00:02:42.240 --> 00:02:45.439
your point, people saying, may, well, isn't it bummer toll
51
00:02:45.439 --> 00:02:46.280
at least be on the road.
52
00:02:46.360 --> 00:02:48.280
I'm like, well, that's where all my friends are. It's
53
00:02:48.280 --> 00:02:49.560
a bummer when I go home time.
54
00:02:50.159 --> 00:02:51.960
You know, so much closer to my road family than
55
00:02:52.000 --> 00:02:53.400
I am. You know, friends, I have friends at home,
56
00:02:53.479 --> 00:02:55.240
don't get me wrong, right, but no, I mean all
57
00:02:55.319 --> 00:02:57.240
my we all live in different states now. Obviously we
58
00:02:57.319 --> 00:02:58.800
used to live closer on the same area, but everybody
59
00:02:58.840 --> 00:03:01.120
kind of branched out started when they have families and things.
60
00:03:01.599 --> 00:03:03.280
But yeah, I love it. I absolutely love it.
61
00:03:03.680 --> 00:03:07.319
So you guys, did I see right? You dropped a
62
00:03:07.439 --> 00:03:08.199
new single?
63
00:03:08.479 --> 00:03:10.479
Mmm mm yeah, got one coming right? Yeah?
64
00:03:10.560 --> 00:03:11.280
Breaking cool?
65
00:03:11.520 --> 00:03:13.680
Yeah, so excited as we're recording now going into the
66
00:03:13.719 --> 00:03:15.280
next week will be the official release of it. And
67
00:03:15.599 --> 00:03:18.439
we've been working on the new album and new music
68
00:03:18.520 --> 00:03:21.159
for the better part of two years, but started really
69
00:03:21.199 --> 00:03:23.400
writing kind of when Covid hit, But yeah, I mean
70
00:03:23.400 --> 00:03:26.080
we've written huge batches of songs and gotten rid of
71
00:03:26.159 --> 00:03:28.439
some of those songs. I've written more batches of songs,
72
00:03:28.479 --> 00:03:30.199
gotten rid of some of those, and been able to
73
00:03:30.199 --> 00:03:32.680
whittle it down and try and focus the sound in
74
00:03:32.719 --> 00:03:34.719
a
way that we wanted. That for us was interesting
75
00:03:34.800 --> 00:03:37.759
and new and fresh, but still true to being breaking Benjamin.
76
00:03:37.919 --> 00:03:40.759
Nice and showing that you evolve as a musician.
77
00:03:40.960 --> 00:03:44.199
It's so hard to do because it'll be contrived not
78
00:03:44.400 --> 00:03:46.639
You can't just force something to be like, well, we're
79
00:03:46.879 --> 00:03:49.960
gonna do a country thing now, right, Well, I mean,
80
00:03:50.000 --> 00:03:51.080
are you a fan of country? Are you?
81
00:03:51.199 --> 00:03:51.319
You know?
82
00:03:51.439 --> 00:03:53.360
Like Postmon can do it, but it's natural. He also
83
00:03:53.400 --> 00:03:56.439
put in the time and spent a year national writing
84
00:03:56.439 --> 00:03:57.599
two hundred songs with writers.
85
00:03:57.680 --> 00:03:59.879
So that's what people don't know.
86
00:04:00.439 --> 00:04:02.280
That's what they don't know. And so not that we're
87
00:04:02.280 --> 00:04:03.960
taking a pivot like that. It's not a country of them,
88
00:04:04.039 --> 00:04:06.319
but it's still a rock album. But I think it's
89
00:04:06.360 --> 00:04:09.639
that kind of thing where you really have to kind
90
00:04:09.639 --> 00:04:12.319
of explore the edges of how far we're willing to
91
00:04:12.360 --> 00:04:14.360
go over some of those and then come back and
92
00:04:14.719 --> 00:04:16.920
kind of create a new space for yourself otherwise it's
93
00:04:16.959 --> 00:04:19.240
really easy to get pigeonholed into just writing the same
94
00:04:19.279 --> 00:04:20.319
thing over and over.
95
00:04:20.879 --> 00:04:23.519
And do you think the COVID lockdown I always say,
96
00:04:23.639 --> 00:04:26.079
because if you're gonna take one positive out of it,
97
00:04:26.600 --> 00:04:30.920
it allowed people like you songwriters musicians to get off
98
00:04:30.959 --> 00:04:32.959
the hamster wheel and get creative again.
99
00:04:33.040 --> 00:04:33.680
Yeah, big time.
100
00:04:33.720 --> 00:04:33.920
Yeah.
101
00:04:34.199 --> 00:04:36.639
Obviously we were doing it remotely. You know, everything was
102
00:04:36.680 --> 00:04:39.240
kind of satellite and on FaceTime every day and that
103
00:04:39.279 --> 00:04:41.839
sort of stuff. I remember from the studios in early
104
00:04:41.879 --> 00:04:44.319
two thousands, still doing you know, real real tape machines
105
00:04:44.360 --> 00:04:46.920
and not having reputers record to where you could edit.
106
00:04:47.240 --> 00:04:50.240
Like I think that same transition into like the digital domain.
107
00:04:50.680 --> 00:04:52.360
COVID kind of did that from a creative process of
108
00:04:52.439 --> 00:04:54.959
bands too, you know, where it wasn't in the past.
109
00:04:55.000 --> 00:04:57.480
We've gone and gotten in a room and hash stuff
110
00:04:57.480 --> 00:04:59.439
out and done demos for two or three months and
111
00:04:59.480 --> 00:05:01.680
then lock in the studio. And this has not been
112
00:05:01.759 --> 00:05:03.959
that process at all. So opening up a whole new
113
00:05:03.959 --> 00:05:04.480
world for sure.
114
00:05:04.560 --> 00:05:05.040
Well, I love it.
115
00:05:05.160 --> 00:05:07.800
I can't wait for the new music. I love that
116
00:05:07.879 --> 00:05:11.040
you're here at Aftershock. That's a madass, And thanks for
